mine is Octavia SE Tech Combi 2.0 TDI 150 DSG UK car (built June 2025). With no options except the factory fitted swing out towbar. It doesn't have any noise issues at all. In your own time it might be worth getting underneath, I find you only need a few inches.... for example you could remove the undertray and go for a drive

@VladicaO remove the undertray and you might see some flaps, if you chose the factory swing-out tow bar it automatically upgrades the cooling on the car. I remember seeing some flaps. I have exactly the same 2025 car as yours. But i don't have any resonance, even with roof bars and a roofbox.

I would dump the oil and pour it into a white plastic basin, as that can tell a story. I plan to do mine once I'm out of warranty.

I can't answer your question but this might help

there is a solenoid in there somewhere: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/508812-error-selector-lever/page/4/

you can remove the undertray and you will see a code on the gearbox starting with 0GC if it is the DQ381, or if you look on you tube for "dq381 filter change" you will see where the screw-on oil filter is located on top of this gearbox. If you open the bonnet and shine a torch at night, you should find it (you'll need T25 & T40 torx and a 24mm socket to remove the undertray)

perhaps I'm wrong but I thought the car would have the DQ381, as I think the DQ200 is limited to 250Nm of torque

dealer will not change the filter but an independant will if you ask them. Dealer is forced to use OEM fluid which is expensive. Alternative fluids are cheaper.

I got sick of Shell V-Power not being available on my route and spent a whole evening researching additives and came up with this one can't remember the reasoning behind it but I was only interested in keeping the pump lubed

anyone else use this stuff? I'm pampering my engine as I intend to get a huge mileage out of it

yes it's confusing, this link shows what can be done if your car is SFD 2 https://obdeleven.com/customizations/skoda/octavia/2024

I had exactly the same experience, no acoustic warning, nothing on the screen, just a sudden stop with a bang. Even though you're going 2 or 3mph it feels like you're about to go through the windscreen..... In my scenario I was looking for a parking space and there was a (nearly flat) speed hump in the road. 2025 2.0 TDI SE Tech (UK car) I have had the other acoustic warning going at speed (it's different) and it was correct, I was closing on the rear of a car in front. I had it reversing once, I thought I hit something but it was a dangling piece of grass (no beep just "bang")

"KAMEI Husky 510 matt black DuoLift roof box" spent 12yrs on the roof of my last car, now on my new car (Mk4.5 estate) Has never let a drop of water in. In terms of appearance it's functional and massive. You could climb into it and lie down

I don't know anything about it but I read somewhere that this is only available if you have previously bought a new car from them, and you were using the App with your previous car

probably requires a replacement of this unit: https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/5wa713033cd-selector-mechanism-skoda-50690.html can be a failure of the internal microswitch which is affected by debris and mechanical wear video shows how to get access to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auwizaon8Q4 A dealer will have come across these issues before, be aware they will charge you for an initial diagnosis...
